What is the distance between points A(-3,4) and B(1,-2)? Round to the nearest 10th if necessary.

A. 6.08
B. 6.1
C. 6.5
D. 7.2

D. 7.2

Step-by-step explanation:

6^2 +4^2 = c^2

sqrt 36 + sqrt 16 = c^2

c^2 = sqrt 52  =  7.21110255 = 7.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between two points is given by

|xy|=√(x2-x1)² +(y2-y1)²

So putting the points A(-3,4) B(1,-2) into the equation

|AB|= √(4--3)²+(-2-1)²

=√(7)²+(-3)²

= √49+9

= √58

=7.2

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17
